WTF Happened to Need for Speed?
« on: November 18, 2008, 10:14:51 AM »
These reviews are terrible  ???  How could they ship a game this framey?  This is one of EA's few IPs that have any clout, and they just keep shitting it up.

I wish they would make games like the old Hot Pursuit series now that was a game I loved. Other than that the NSF franchise has defiantly lost its roots.

Didn't I say that Midnight Club LA was the better game, Jeremy?



If you guys are buying MCLA like smart gamers, (you guys are smart, right?) I have the PS3 version. See you guys in the virtual LA!  :-*

John Davison gave it a B I think.

It's a shame they are having tech problems given...you know, criterion.

It's official, Burnout > NFS. I'd buy Burnout Paradise, but I'm waiting for the party pack version they announced, with the party pack add-on and the other stuff.

I'd be down for a new, Criterion-developed Road Rash. :-*

Are you playing the real version or the Wii version? Just to make sure.

:(  I actually have to purchase a Wii.  My parents have decided they think it looks "fun" and my Mother wants Wii Fit.  I told them I'd rather buy them a $400 Bluray player for their HDTV, but no luck.

IGN says NFS on 360 isn't as bad wrt framerate, so I may try that.  Midnight Club just bugged me for some reason.  I don't like pulling up a map every 30 seconds trying to figure out where to go.

Personally I think EA has said "Let's focus on new IPs and let the old ones rot in hell." to themselves.

EXCEPT for FIFA

which is GOD right now.


And NHL Hockey. Don't forget hockey.  :heartbeat

It's sad for NFS considering they started the year so awesome with the new Burnout.

I thought about checking it out for the 360 but I'll wait a month or two when a cheap copy emerges.  I really liked Most Wanted (hated Underground 1 and 2, never played Carbon or the one released last year) so if it is a lot like Most Wanted, I'll probably pick it up.

Clearly you aren't very smart buying the game for the PS3.
